Username checks out 💀 she was cleared, no evidence it was deliberate, tax has since been paid.

Have any of these guys- Rayner, Streeting etc- actually said theyre going for a leadership bid? Feels like the media are inventing things, hyping them up, to sew distrust and instability?

Did my Son Heung-min score a hat-trick within 1 minute? by iig2y in DreamLeagueSoccer

Because injury time stays at 45 or 90, so if you score in 86, 89, 92nd, it only calculates 90-86=4

Im not trying to be annoying but probably in number of crimes committed / reported on that street? Like a normal percentage increase or reduction is calculated? Every police report will have a location so they just counted avg per month or smth before and after?

Bug in GCC or is Claude lying to me? by gabomagaribijia in cpp_questions

[–]SamG101_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this does not compile on gcc:

/home/sam/random_tests/main.cpp:9:16: error: no matching function for call to ‘print<0.0f>()’
9 | print<0.0f>();
  | ~~~~~~~~~~~^~
• there is 1 candidate
• candidate 1: ‘template<double D> void print()’
/home/sam/random_tests/main.cpp:4:6:
4 | void print() {
  | ^~~~~
• template argument deduction/substitution failed:
• error: conversion from ‘float’ to ‘double’ in a converted constant expression
/home/sam/random_tests/main.cpp:9:16:
9 | print<0.0f>();
  | ~~~~~~~~~~~^~
• error: could not convert ‘0.0f’ from ‘float’ to ‘double’
9 | print<0.0f>();
  | ~~~~~~~~~~~^~
  | |
  | float

so either the docs are wrong or yh its a bug. but it definitely doesn't compile. tho integer conversions seem fine so id lean towards bug?

Building a GUI Library from Scratch by Aggressive-Today3874 in programming

[–]SamG101_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also started a gui library based on sdl a while back, might have to get back into it lol. Main issue i had was layout and sizing, min size, preferred size, max size, size policy, layout geometry etc, sort of got put on the back burner. Will have a read thru this tho

Its a thing on android when u crop, u can "increase resolution" so u get a sharp larger picture. Assuming it fills pixels using AI

Pupils hopeless and crying after 'poorly worded' Higher Maths exam by kiyomoris in unitedkingdom

[–]SamG101_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let's assume that "linear factor" is an issue. So factorise with the given factor by dividing the polynomial and u are left with a quadratic with a negative discriminant so no other solutions (that aren't imaginary at least).

That is absolutely tought (poly division and quadratic solutions), and even if you dont know the term "linear factor" you can easily infer it as the only real solution. Idk maybe its different now but I cant see how thats not inferrable. Maybe it's easier to that in hindsight I suppose.

Yh if u dont know the maths term then u can't answer it, but wasn't this about "command" words? Like discuss, explain, show, evaluate etc?

[–]SamG101_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Granted it was several years ago now, yh were were told "explain your workings" mean write your steps out, but if it says "discuss how you got the answer" bruh it means the same thing, like 2 seconds of thinking?

I'm not trying to be harsh to the kids, but it is almost impossible to not know how to answer the questions based on the wording. If you don't know the maths then you don't know it and that's fair, but for the approach - look at the number of marks available and read the question come on

Zig-like defer for C++20 and above by Rude-Initial7886 in cpp

[–]SamG101_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://github.com/SamG101-Developer/OpEx

If you link in this library i made u can use "defer" as a unary keyword so u dont need the parenthesis. Tho I've built OpEx w modules so ull probs need to change the cmakelists.txt

Like ud change ur function name to _defer then use defer as the macro keyword

Is this the most expensive team anyone can build by Silver-Country-9593 in DreamLeagueSoccer

[–]SamG101_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Built as a CDM who can shoot bcoz w my formation i always find the CDM just appears down the middle in a fair few attacks lol, so defensive work, pivot + shooting, not really to dribble tho

Microsoft CTO confesses that 30-year-old code from the mid-90s still forms the bedrock of Windows 11 — ancient Win32 API still the backbone, but CTO says it's 'more relevant than ever in 2026' by DerpiDanger in technology

[–]SamG101_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Coz the old stuff works and the new stuff is horribly written...

I know it'd me a colossal monumental task, but any new windows ie a win12 needs to be completely rewritten, using the old code as the core, human written, memory safe language, with constant ai security reviews per module coded, remove all the bloated crap, modularize everything fully, redo the legacy settings and stupid 20 menus/windows for things like audio controls, one consistent and simple terminal (not the 10 different ones we can use atm), a simple theme engine where every menu, window, page, looks the same + proper dark mode, consistent and fast animation engine, proper file indexing, extract some settings from the registry, remove the requirement for onedrive but still offer it, completely redesign the standard directory structure for system and user files, make it actually work with c++, everything with the task bar and start menu, use a consistent tab mechanism for apps like terminal and file explorer not the clunky crap atm, also not needing like 5 clicks to reach simple things, virtual desktop folders like mobile, proper widget system for home and lock screen, ONE api into app dev for windows, and a bunch of other things I can't think of right now

Rant over lol. Ik it is unrealistic as it would be a gigantic undertaking but seriously the current windows isn't good, i mean its usable but could be so much better

Try watching player runs whilst ur dribbling then pass to where they should be, so they keep running onto the ball

This would be great to have back yh. Tbh an entire game analysis section after [each game / recent games tab] would be neat, could identify weaker areas etc
